As you can see, the huge amount of raised funds does not guarantee profit. Only 3 ICOs are presented in both lists. What is the reason? There is a tendency on the market to decrease the hard cap to $20-30 million. Investors began to understand, that new projects do not need huge funds to realize their ideas, and the organizers of projects are forced to play by investor's rules.

ICOs with relatively low hard cap (less than $30 million) are becoming more and more profitable. Why? Because hype level around top ICOs is much higher than the amount of released tokens. Therefore investors, who failed to get tokens during ICO, go to exchanges and buy these tokens there, increasing their price.

KYC and whitelist are no longer indicators of the quality of an ICO. Almost everyone has them.

Top ICOs collect their hard cap in a day. Sometimes in minutes.

* ROI (return on investment) is a financial ratio that shows the level of profitability or loss of business, given the amount of investment made in this business. It is calculated as the ratio of the current token exchange rate to the exchange rate of the token during the ICO.
